These facilities provide excellent support for a wide range of general and special laboratory equipment for undergraduate and graduate studies of the behavior of typical chemical processing units bioengineering research nanotechnology energy biochemical engineering polymers digital computation for process dynamics research and study of thermodynamics, kinetics, heat transfer, and mass transfer. Additional plant facilities, and the undergraduate chemical processing laboratory occupy approximately 10,000-square-feet in the nearby Imbt building.
Here the department occupies approximately one-third of Iacocca Hall, the 200,000-square-foot flagship building that contains offices, classrooms, and laboratories. The Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department is the only engineering department located on Lehigh’s 780 acres Mountaintop Campus. The increasing complexity of modern manufacturing methods requires superior education for men and women working in research, development, and the design fields or for teaching. Further study at the graduate level leading to advanced degrees is highly desirable if an individual wishes to participate in the technical development of the field. The program is also designed to prepare a student for graduate study in chemical and biomolecular engineering. No effort is made toward any specific industry, but adaptation is rapid and the fundamental understanding forms the base for an expanding career. With the resulting habits of precise thought coupled to a broad base in scientific and general education, Lehigh graduates have been effective throughout industry and in advanced professional education. These bases are applied in a sequence of chemical engineering courses in which logic and mathematical manipulation are applied to chemical processing problems. For a lifetime of effectiveness they need a sound background in the fundamental sciences of chemistry and physics a working capability with mathematics, numerical methods, and application of computer solutions and a broad education in humanities, social sciences, and managerial techniques.
Chemical engineers serve a wide variety of technical and managerial functions within the chemical processing industry. Its curriculum encompasses three basic organizing principles: Molecular Transformations, Multi-scale Analysis, and System Approaches. Modern chemical engineering is built around the fundamental enabling sciences of biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. The Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department offers a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering to undergraduate students and offers graduate programs leading to the master of science, master of engineering, and doctor of philosophy degrees in Chemical Engineering, and master of engineering degrees in Biological Chemical Engineering and Chemical Energy Engineering.
